Woodward, John – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2006
Automaticity in math facts has been of considerable interest to special educators for decades. A review of the intervention literature suggests at least two common approaches to developing automaticity in facts. One is grounded in the use of strategies for teaching facts, the other emphasizes the use of timed practice drills. Recent research…

Peer reviewedWoodward, John – Elementary School Journal, 1994
Examined the effects of science curricula organized around topical and causal styles of discourse on 46 eighth graders. Found that students taught with the causal style of discourse had significantly higher retention rates and could better apply their knowledge to problem-solving exercises than students taught with the topical style.

WOODWARD, JOHN C. – 1964
THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION LECTURER AND THE STUDENTS WAS CONSIDERED. A FEEDBACK SYSTEM WAS DEVELOPED TO ENABLE A STUDENT TO INDICATE HIS RESPONSE TO A TV LECTURER'S QUESTION BY PUSHING ONE OF FIVE BUTTONS AT STUDENT STATIONS IN THE TV LECTURE AREA. VIA A READ-OUT DEVICE THE INSTRUCTOR EVALUATED THE STUDENT…
